We are really interested in ‘The Premium’ here at Gambling Insider. Can you please explain the concept and why you chose to go by a third-person persona?
We provide recommendations for clients on a number of sporting events that would include: the NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB and also the ATP Tour. We became very good at identifying bets with the expertise I provided, and thought we should be compensated for that expertise.
It’s a results-driven business and we differ from traditional consultants; I provide a lot of methodologies that I teach my clients. The sportsbetting industry is a great way to earn a passive income, there are a lot of different ways you can set yourself up for success, and that’s what I teach.
You use particular statistical models via machine learning to identify bets... Without telling me your secrets, how do you find the best angles for your clients, and what are your strategic ways?
The Premium uses many tools in his arsenal that include predictive modelling projections and data analytics. His ability to study in-depth previews of team matchups helps to identify market inefficiencies that aids in his advantage. Using statistical models via machine learning (alongside human thought processes) provides The Premium additional resources to make calculated decisions for his clients.
Naturally, in the 21st century, nobody really trusts anybody they’ve just met. So, why should players who don’t know you and can’t see you trust your advice with their money?
That’s a valid question. The Premium teaches players how to think properly, alongside providing sports betting picks and recommendations. There’s a bad aura around consultants when it comes to this industry. And I’m trying to change that and put a lot more credibility behind what sports consultants can really do for clients. The bare minimum some consultants do is send out picks, and if it wins – great. The Premium prides itself on client retention. I am doing a very good job of retaining my clients and receiving upgrade requests. By having a range of VIP packages, it gives the clients options to see how I operate. There are clear examples of what we offer with an introduction email explaining ourservice; there are a lot of additional services we include free of charge. We also provide consultations via direct message on Instagram.

Is it just you who speaks with your clients or do you have a team behind The Premium?
It depends what days, but The Premium is the one who is going to be making that contact. I am the one who is most well versed when it comes to clients and understanding them.
This is a very niche, albeit great idea. As there aren’t really any other consultants who give such personable contact with clients in terms of the ambiguity that The Premium has, who would you say your competitors are?
There are a few, but I wouldn’t say we have many competitors. Our statistics, what we do and provide our clients, is what does the talking. Any competitors would simply be other individuals that offer services like handicapping and selling picks.
What other ways do you differ from a typical sports betting consultant?
Where we differ is where we target higher niche clients. We are typically higher priced but I provide more value. Our mantra is: pay The Premium in exchange for premium consultation. The Premium is within the top 1% [success rate] and we feel like we are the best. I am honest and tell clients that if you are charged $5 or $10 daily, then it won’t come with the quality. We charge you the premium but we provide that premium return and premium consultation for our clients.
Out of the VIP packages: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, half yearly, yearly and even personalised options, which would you say is the most popular choice gaining the most success rates?
Our monthly. With 30 days of consultations for clients, we provide a considerate discount for their first package, which allows them to test out the system. We also have the custom-tailored packages. We work with the client’s needs, so we would be able to lower a monthly average to have them for a longer term.
Gambling is largely undertaken by bettors as doing it for the ‘game’ or the thrill. In terms of betting on someone else’s picks, do you think this takes the fun away from the customer?
Absolutely not. The Premium does the research so you don’t have to. And that really is the bottom line. We want to take the headache out of the equation. Clients are paying me to do the research, it’s a huge time commitment. I have high-net-worth clients who finish work and don’t want to come home and have to go through the books. I do it for them. Obviously, we are hoping to win every bet that we provide, in the off chance that it’s not, it adds more entertainment for the client; they can sit back and relax, understand that the work has been done and enjoy the game.
That was a really good answer.
That’s what we do! The Premium answers and The Premium returns, Isabella!
You’ve got a lot of confidence in what you’re doing and what you’re saying, how have you got the time to do this for every client making sure they receive accurate results?
It’s a pressure business, I would be lying to tell you that every day is amazing. But I truly care. I take it as a personal hit if I lose because clients are paying me and putting their trust in me. Any consultant that says “we win every day and we are going to make you thousands” is lying. It’s unpredictable but I can promise you, sports betting, in terms of gambling, is one of the best ways to make money. The Premium wants to make its clients money, and drive return and investment.
In terms of caring for your clients, a topic that is always rife in the air but one especially now, what is your stance on responsible gambling and how do you implement this?
The Premium maintains complete privacy for all clients, I always advise them to have the means to afford to bet. And if they don’t then it’s best to get their finances in order and then eventually use our services. My take on responsible gambling is we don’t want clients that are in over their heads. It’s an entertainment value at the end of the day. We want to make a lot of money, but it also brings a lot of entertainment value for the client.
Do you ask potential clients about their financial background?
We don’t get involved with individuals’ backgrounds or financials, for their own privacy. From a personal standpoint, I want customers to bet responsibly.
You have mentioned your status as an online celebrity. It would be a crime if I didn’t ask, can you tell us who you are?
Absolutely not. The Premium will remain in full confidentiality. I find people are interested in knowing who I am, and I understand that, but that’s what brings the art to the brand.
Well, it’s rather the term ‘celebrity’, it gives off the illusion that you could be a famous movie star.
I would say celebrity due to my fan base and following. So, The Premium is the celebrity. People find me entertaining; I have an entertaining component with the brand that we have built. I come across as arrogant or very confident in my abilities, but at the end of the day my statistics do the talking.
So, money talks?
Yes! Absolutely, Isabella. Money talks. If I wasn’t making money for my clients they wouldn’t sign up for my services and they wouldn’t renew their services, and we wouldn’t retain customers. There is no better feeling than making money.
Lastly, do you find the level of retention has grown globally, since sports betting became more popular?
I have clients from all over and it’s amazing to see internationally how much the world has respect for sports betting. ESPN is highlighting betting odds now. Sports betting used to be something that was looked upon in a negative light. The NFL’s stance five years ago is completely opposite to now. There’s a much cleaner representation these days and it’s seen as a lot of fun. I believe sports betting and sports in general is getting even bigger and better than it ever was.
